This is Part I
Go to Part II
I had some personal business to take care of in Chicago and expected to be there a couple of days. I ended up having to spend two more days, with one day of downtime in the middle - not a bad thing in Chicago, even when the weather takes a sudden turn toward late fall.
Jarvis Beach, Rogers Park
Dogs know all about unbridled enthusiasm!
Following Jarvis from the beach to the Red Line station
"This is a Red Line train to Howard. Transfer to Purple Line and Yellow Line trains at Howard."
"This is Howard. Transfer to Purple Line and Yellow Line trains at Howard."
The train in the center distance is a Yellow Line train returning from Dempster
Howard Street is the transfer point between Red Line Trains to/from downtown Chicago, Purple Line trains to/from Linden (Evanston), Yellow Line (Skokie Swift) trains to/from Dempster and several CTA and PACE bus lines. Howard is undergoing long-needed major reconstruction.
Looking out the back window of a train departing Howard southbound for the Loop. The color bands on the right side of the images are the result of interaction between a tempered glass window and the polarizing filter on my camera lens.
